There’s something true and straight and inarguable about a 96 year-old guy just laying it down and saying “c’mon, Americans…what is this?”

The title of this post refers to Carl Reiner having created and written The Dick Van Dyke Show, which is about a comedy writer (Van Dyke) who worked for “Alan Brady,” the Sid Caesar-like star of The Alan Brady Show. Reiner worked as a writer for Ceasar’s Your Show of Shows (’50 to ’54) and Caesar’s Hour (’54 to ’57).
